Rejuvenating & Healing: Skin Care Oils

Jul 21, 2015 11:00:00 PM

It may seem counterintuitive to apply oil to the surface of your skin. After all, decades of beauty advice cautioned that oil was the enemy of a healthy, radiant complexion. Recently however, proponents of natural beauty products have rediscovered the skin care secrets used for centuries by native and ancient cultures worldwide. Natural oils, extracted from a variety of plants have been shown to heal, nourish and moisturize the skin, transforming it from blah to beautiful.

1. Rejuvenating: Rose Hip Oil

This light and refreshing oil is known for its anti-aging properties and its ability to rejuvenate and repair sun-damaged skin. High in vitamins A and C, rose hip oil has also been shown to reduce dark spots and other signs of aging. An excellent remedy for diminishing the appearance of scars and fine lines, rose hip oil absorbs quickly into the skin delivering extra moisture on contact.

2. Healing: Tea Tree Oil

Derived from the leaves of the native Australian tea tree, tea tree oil has been shown to heal acne-prone skin, relieve sore muscles and diminish fungal infections. It has a spicy and refreshing scent and is most effective when diluted with jojoba or coconut oil.

3. Cleansing: Jojoba Oil

Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) oil comes from the seed of the Jojoba plant, a shrub found in the Southwestern desert of the United States. With softening, cleansing and anti-aging properties, Jojoba oil can be used as a facial cleanser and fine-line reducer. As a cleanser, coat skin with a thin layer of Jojoba oil and allow oil to set for 5 minutes. Gently massage and remove the oil with a warm, damp washcloth to reveal clean, glowing skin.

4. Soothing: Arnica Oil

Rich in essential fatty acids and utilized for centuries for its anti-inflammatory properties, arnica oil comes from the flowers and the roots of the arnica plant. When diluted with olive or almond oil, arnica oil has been shown to help reduce swelling caused by strains and sprains, and diminish acne and pain from insect bites.

5. Anti-Aging: Marula Oil

From the seeds of the Marula tree comes this antioxidant-rich oil with highly moisturizing and anti-aging properties. Marula oil has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and reduce visible signs of sun damage. High in essential fatty acids and vitamin C, marula oil diminishes redness and heals scarring.

Whether you’re looking to rejuvenate, heal or sooth damaged skin, natural oils offer welcome relief without the use of harmful chemicals or preservatives. Take your skin from dull and lifeless to healthy and radiant with natural skin care oils.

Heat Sensitive Products

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that many customers have concerns about receiving a heat sensitive item in the mail and we hear a lot of questions about this. We have put together this list of Frequently Asked Questions to help you understand our process and to help alleviate any concerns you may have.

Q: How do you store heat sensitive products in your warehouse?

A: All heat sensitive products are stored in a refrigerated area of our warehouse from the moment we receive them in from the manufacturer to the day your order ships.

Q: Do you ship heat sensitive products with a cold pack?

A: Yes, all heat sensitive products are shipped with a cold pack for no additional cost.

A: Yes, the product is fine. We include cold packs to keep the product cool in transit, but thawing over time is natural.

Q: My heat sensitive product is warm. Is it ok?

A: Yes, heat sensitive products can be exposed to high temperatures over short periods of time without concern of the heat harming the product. This also includes Probiotics. Cold packs are included in these shipments to keep the product cool in transit.

Q: Why do you recommend I ship it One or Two Day Shipping?

A: A heat sensitive product shipped via Standard Shipping (3-7 business days) is not within the manufacturers’ shipping standards for this type of product; therefore we cannot guarantee that the product has maintained 100% of its potency.

Q: I placed my order for One Day Shipping on a Friday. When will I receive it?

A: Since expedited shipping companies don’t normally deliver on Saturdays or Sundays we hold all One or Two Day Shipping orders containing a heat sensitive product until Monday to ensure they are only in transit for one or two days based on the following criteria. Heat Sensitive products ordered after 2:00 pm ET Wednesday will be shipped out Monday when Two Day Shipping is selected. Heat Sensitive products ordered after 2:00 pm ET Thursday will be shipped out Monday when One Day Shipping is selected.

Q: How do I store my heat sensitive product?

A: To maintain maximum potency, you should refrigerate the heat sensitive product as soon as you receive it. We recommend allowing the product to cool for several hours before opening the bottle and storing it in your refrigerator with the lid tightly closed immediately after each use.

Q: Can I return my heat sensitive product?

A: Yes! While other online retailers do not allow for returns of heat sensitive products, we stand behind our 90-Day Hassle Free Returns policy for all items we sell. Heat sensitive products that are returned to us are never resold.
